Public Transportation

The city’s subway stops near DePaul’s campus are impossible to miss. There are three stations nearby: Diversey to the north, Armitage to the south, and Fullerton, which is literally steps away from campus. There are two subway lines that run through Diversey and Armitage, but Fullerton provides access to three (the brown, purple, and red lines.) The train is undoubtedly the most popular form of public transit for DePaul students, but city buses also transport students for a fairly cheap price.

Economy and Jobs

DePaul is one of the largest private schools in the U.S. with over 15,000 undergrads. But it’s also widely considered one of the finest private universities, and its college of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences is its most popular and prestigious branch. But no matter what your major is at DePaul, you will be well off when you graduate. This isn’t just because of the quality education you’ll receive, although that’s part of it, but it’s also about the location. DePaul is in Chicago, minutes away from downtown, which gives students the perfect opportunities to network and intern in the big city. When they graduate, they’ll be able to utilize the contacts and resources they made during their previous four years in Chicago.
